Summary

The unfortunate end to UFC 321 left a bad taste in the mouths of MMA fans as an accidental eye poke from Ciryl Gane led to the main event against heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall ending in a No Contest. Considering how things went down, it seems as if the UFC will run that fight back, but is that the fight to make following the historic ending to the contest? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Aspinall and Gane go from the brutal ending to Saturday's pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Mackenzie Dern and Virna Jandiroba following Dern's vacant strawweight championship victory in the co-main event, Umar Nurmagomedov after his unanimous decision win over Mario Bautista in the featured bout, Alexander Volkov following his split decision win over Jailton Almeida, along with fellow main card winner Azamat Murzakanov, and more.
